Climbing onto parallel bars at an age when many slow down their daily activities? Johanna Quaas did it for decades. This German gymnast, now 100 years old, has demonstrated that a passion nurtured regularly can last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

A passion born in childhood<\/h2>\n

Born on November 20, 1925, in Hohenm\u00f6lsen, Germany, Johanna Quaas grew up in a family where sport played a significant role. At a very young age, she discovered gymnastics and quickly revealed remarkable talent. In 1934, at just nine years old, she participated in her first competition. Her athletic journey was subsequently interrupted by several family moves, and then by the Second World War, which profoundly disrupted her sporting activities. <\/p>\n
